Testimonials


We commissioned Ryan and his team to build our holiday retreat on Kawau Island.  Building on an island with no infrastructure is challenging.  To make the project work you need to be organised, creative and have a real ‘sure-we-can’ attitude.  We considered a number of builders, but Ryan impressed us from the start and gave us confidence that our complex project was in good hands.  We have not been disappointed.  None of the locals believed it possible, but Ryan and his team finished our bach in six weeks!  Completely finished, to a standard that has impressed both locals and a number of incredibly critical and fussy people. He used project management software to manage the logistics, and everything happened exactly when his project plan said it would – no mean feat when you have a project that involves barges, helicopters mixed together with wind and tide.  His daily phone project updates were both entertaining and informative – which was critical for our peace of mind given that the site location meant that we couldn’t just drop in and have look.  We loved working with Ryan and his team Scotty and Tom and we would have no hesitation in recommending them for any project regardless of the complexity!

Having Ryan and Deb with us from the inception of the build and design of our  “forever home” was a pleasurable  and exciting experience, something you normally don’t affiliate with a new build.
 
The build was stress free and completely informative. We were treated with care and respect during the entire experience and when we wanted to suggest possible change, we were received with a no problem attitude.
 
We now have an amazing home that has incredible craftsmanship. The final product has exceeded our expectations considering we wanted a new product on the market that Ryan and his team had not used previously-again greeted with enthusiasm.
 
Our journey with Ryan and his team was efficient, guided and fun. We enjoyed the entire process and being part of his vision that he offered along the way, something that is a rarity in his trade. 
 
We would gladly embark on another project with Ryan and Deb because it was just so easy and a great experience with  a professional and caring team.

We approached Deb and Ryan Bridgens to build and help with the interior design of our special ‘home away from home’ because we were so impressed with the property they built for themselves in Wybrill Way – which they had decided to sell and we had just mi
Building a new house can be a stressful experience.
 
For us, Bridgens Construction and Design took a large part of  that stress out of the equation , and we now have fantastic house we are delighted to live in. The attention to detail and quality of build is excellent.
 
Our new ( quite complex ) build started with Ryan offering to undertake a “buildability” review of the Architect’s drawings to ensure we would get the most practical solutions on site. In the long run this saved us time and money.
 
The second step was to assemble a robust estimate which we could rely on, and budget accordingly.
 
Despite the wet weather the build went smoothly and we moved in on the planned date, with the budget intact.
 
We could probably be best described as a “hands on” Client and were very much involved with on site decisions. There was no reluctance from Bridgens Construction about our involvement, and the whole build has benefitted from this co-operative approach. Ryan and his team were always very obliging and easy to deal with. 
 
We found the open and honest approach  by Bridgens Construction and Design very helpful and satisfying, and would have no hesitation in using Bridgens Construction and Design again should decide to build again...but at the moment we are living in our dream home and very happy to be doing so.
